It’s been so long since my last update! With the exception of my private post of course, but that one was angsty 
And password locked! So really it was no good to anyone.
Recently I moved into my first apartment though! And I have my first very own bathroom! 
 |
 |
It’s a lot bigger than my dorm room and much easier to live in! Plus my roommates have been nice so far 
So! Here is my new room~
 |
Still a little bare on the walls! I’ll fix that soon though 
 |
It’s pretty spacious, I wish it came with a desk though! For now I just use my laptop on my bed and keep my printer and books on the chest of drawers.
 |
The closet gets a thumbs up from me – wayyy more room for my shoes and clothes in this one! Five points to anyone who can guess what show I was watching 
 |
And the bathroom! I never thought I’d be so excited about a bathroom but apparently having one all to myself makes me extremely pleased. I love all the counter space 
 |
I really have so many hair and face products, trust me that isn’t even the half of it! 
Here is my newest addition~
 |
The Shiseido pureness facial care set with cleanser, toner and lotion. I also invested in the face scrubbing brush!
 |
Hopefully the set works well since it was a little pricey 
I think Shiseido is more simple than other more chemical facial washes so it should turn out well.
That’s all for now, I have so much to catch up on with my blogs though so look for more entries very soon!
Just want to start off this entry with some photos of my new Liz Lisa boots, which are even more amazing in person I’m so glad I bought them when I did – they are now sold out at Liz Lisa’s online shop and Shibuya 109 net shop and seem to be hard to find for a good price anymore.
 |
They came brand new in their box with a duster bag and extra heel plugs in case anything happens to the heels. The bows are also detachable 
 |
I couldn’t wait to coordinate them and so I threw together an outfit with them today 
I’ll probably have to add a light jacket for awhile until it gets warmer.
 |
I need a tan 
The dress and tank top are from Vanity, the necklace and boots are from Liz Lisa and the skirt is from Sechuna. The necklace originally had a little brooch type charm on it, but I took it off. I might make a separate brooch with it later on~
Also bought some things from MAC this weekend! I decided to try out their foundation again in a different shade, since NW15 was too dark for me even though I was matched to that color. I tried out NC15 in person at the counter and it turned out to be a perfect match!
 |
Ended up buying the foundation, lipglass in Underage, a foundation pump and new #7 lashes. Mine were kind of falling apart after using them daily for awhile. I’m impressed they held up so long though! I’m thinking of ordering these lashes from Daiso next though, you get ten pairs for about $20.00 
Here’s the result of my new makeup, I can already see the difference their foundation makes vs. drugstore brand foundations. It definitely has better coverage and stays put much longer.
 |
I’ll leave this entry here since it’s getting a bit long, but tomorrow I’ll update with more new purchases and maybe another outfit 
I have a new sales post up! Check it out here~

Has anyone seen the new Tarina Tarantino collection at Sephora?
I personally think it looks gorgeous! And there is currently a $500 Sephora spree contest going on at http://ttbeauty.com.
My favorites from the collection include the dollskin cheek blushes as the Carved Rose and Charm colors remind me of some gyaru model’s blush. There are also amazingly cute accessories up, including the multibead stretch bracelet. I want one!!
And now for some Liz Lisa auction finds!
This skirt is from the new Liz Lisa spring 2010 collection and retails for over 6,000yen!
I really like this skirt, the design is so cute. I’m not sure if it’s new for spring, but I think it fits nicely into the current spring looks.
Even though winter is coming to an end, I think this set is a really good deal for only 2,000yen.
I quite like this onepiece, even if it’s not really my style!
This is another spring 2010 item. It’s so cute!
Let me know if you liked these auctions, if you’d like to see more choice auctions, or if you’d like to see choice auctions from other brands!
A couple weeks ago I heard about MAC #7 lashes and, having already tried and tested the quality of MAC lashes, ordered a pair.
The quality of MAC lashes is great – and the price isn’t THAT bad either. They are about $13.00 a pair and you can get free shipping with the code BROW or CAROLINE (valid until Jan 31) at checkout. Honestly I think they are worth the higher price; you get more uses out of them. I wore them today and they make such a difference!
If anyone wants to replicate the look, my makeup routine includes all of the items in the photo below + foundation and optional MAC lashes. I do this pretty much everyday and I think the result is casual but put together.
